Molecular mechanisms underpinning immunological memory in a basal metazoan (Cnidaria)
Meeting Abstract 48.5 Monday, Jan. 5 11:15 Molecular mechanisms underpinning immunological memory in a basal metazoan (Cnidaria). BROWN, T*; RODRIGUEZ-LANETTY, M; Florida International University; Florida International University tbrow102@fiu.edu Coral diseases outbreaks have been rapidly increasing on reefs worldwide. Our understanding of how corals respond to the agents causing these diseases remains limited. It is unknown if corals […]

Implications for Y chromosome variation on immune system evolution
Meeting Abstract 48.4 Monday, Jan. 5 11:00 Implications for Y chromosome variation on immune system evolution KUTCH, I.C.*; FEDORKA, K.M.; University of Central Florida; University of Central Florida kutch.bio@knights.ucf.edu Recent research in Drosophila melanogaster suggests that the Y-chromosome influences autosomal gene regulation; particularly, immune-related genes. This effect was detected by introgressing Y-chromosomes from independently evolving populations into […]

Variation in sperm morphology between native and introduced populations of three Anolis lizard species
Meeting Abstract 48-4 Tuesday, Jan. 5 11:00 Variation in sperm morphology between native and introduced populations of three Anolis lizard species KAHRL, A.F.*; COX, R.M.; University of Virginia; University of Virginia afk7df@virginia.edu Sperm morphology is highly variable among species, but less is known about its variation among individuals and populations. Anolis lizards are native throughout the Caribbean […]

Tissue-specific variation in mitochondrial function and implications for the costs of reproduction
Meeting Abstract 48-2 Tuesday, Jan. 5 10:30 Tissue-specific variation in mitochondrial function and implications for the costs of reproduction HOOD, WR*; MOWRY, AV; KAVAZIS, AN; Auburn University; Auburn University ; Auburn University wrhood@auburn.edu http://thehoodlaboratory.com A central tenet of biology is that the costs of reproduction contribute to reduced future fecundity and earlier senescence, but the mechanisms that […]
